I think organizational skills help will be useless unless it is daily at first...then maybe it coul be faded to weekly...but what good would twice a month do? If you only needed twice a month you are already doing pretty okay in that department not just starting out on an IEP.

I would say OT and speech needs to be 1 time weekly not three times a month.....and they need to have a way to make up if the ST or OT is out...and a way to make up if the scheduled day is Monday or Friday and is a planned Holiday.

I would want ....assignments will be modified without penalty for fine motor output by substituting various alternative responses such as but not limited to: oral responding, using a scribe, recording voice, typing, AT, etc.

...assignments may be reduced if heavy fine motor output required....ie writing spelling words once and not 5times each, filling in a single missing letter, using spelling city online to practice words or reduced number of math problems to show mastery without penalty.

...no penalty for additional time needed on assignments (this is important later on in school about 4th grade or so doesn't hurt to get it in now).

...notes to be copied off the board provided to the student (also something that hits harder around 4th grade)
